Starting a thread to put this stuff in because some of it is pretty outrageous...and he seems to say it a decent bit.

Bengals coach Zac Taylor in postgame press conference said that if you evaluated every rookie QB after 3 games they’d all be on the bench and there would be only old guys playing in the NFL. Hm. Not sure that’s true.

Here is reality, fans love head coaches when they win, but when they lose every press conference goes south quickly. You can only say the same thing different ways so many times.

It is really tough to have to go 11 straight losses repeating yourself, no break so to be speak. A lot of fans hated ML speaking and his sayings when things went south and starting losing. They called him names and acted like they were superior. So far ZT is making ML look like BB. Even with 3 really bad years to end his Bengals HC career, he has a winning record. ZT is already 11 games under .500.

Apparently, the fans are having fun being negative

Zac Taylor on fans: "I know it's easy right now to be negative. That's a fun thing to do - take shots at us when we're down. But they've got to enjoy it now because it's going to turn and we're all looking forward to that day." #Bengals

Yeah...as if we're all just happy that the team is 0-11.

As if we just enjoy the team losing to the Steelers constantly.

Zac Taylor when asked if he gets frustrated having to be the face of the franchise and answer the questions each week: “I speak every day with everybody in the building and we’re all on the same page.” #Bengals

'It's just defeating to lose.'

The 0-11 start is the worst in franchise history. How does it feel to be a part of that history?

“It’s just defeating to lose. Period. I don’t really care about the stats or the records. When you’re competitive, and you’ve put everything you’ve got into it, to lose is the worst feeling there is. And, if you don’t feel that, then you shouldn’t be playing or coaching, to be honest with you. The moment that feeling goes away, then you need to find something else to do. That feeling hasn’t gone away for us. You don’t see a team in the last two weeks compete like they’ve done against some good teams, down to that last whistle, if it still doesn’t hurt and they’re not giving you everything that they’ve got. That’s what we’ve seen from this group.”

Not cool him attacking fans, this is not fun for any of us. Also, Raiders got blown out by Jets yesterday, a mediocre Jets team so not sure why he thinks Raiders are good. As for Steelers, they have 2 win against us. Are they that good in 2019 with no Ben, no Pounce, No Smith and no Connor?

They beat us with literally their 4th string QB. (They traded their 3rd string QB to Jax.)

I agree with you.

'Good things are to come. I know they’re not visible on the field, necessarily.'

Does the message change after the losses?

“Our message is specific to each week. Every single week. We’re going to keep preaching the things we believe in, knowing that we’re building a foundation for something better. We expected more wins, but they haven’t come. But, we’re not going to change our identity or who we are just because we face some adversity. We’ll get through it. All of the things we’ve been preaching since April will come true. All of the guys who are committed to this organization, and the way we want to do it, there’s a payoff for everybody. Good things are to come. I know they’re not visible on the field, necessarily. But, we believe that we’ll get there.”

Do you get frustrated answering all of the questions?

“No. I speak everyday with everybody in the building and we’re all on the same page.”
